Colours of the New Year

January 1, 2015

New Year is one of the most celebrated occasions around the world because of being a secular celebration, and the fanfare and festivity of New Year celebrations are hardly matched up to by any other celebration globally! New Year is a time to bid adieu to the bygones and welcome the coming year with hope and joy. Thus, it comes as no surprise that the New Year, amongst other things, is ushered in with a variety of colours considered to be lucky.

The concept of lucky colours for New Year is part of a long-standing tradition around the world. It is believed that attracting the lucky energy for a particular year helps in attracting good luck in that year. The upcoming year of 2015 is said to be the year of the Wood Sheep, according to Feng Shui. According to this ruling element of the next year, Feng Shui prescribes a few colours which will ensure good luck for you in the upcoming year. All shades of green and brown are supposed to bring good luck in the upcoming New Year because they are the colours of the Wood Feng Shui element.

If you are already nervous about the limited colour choices available to ring in the New Year, then worry not. The year 2015, being a Wood Feng Shui element, you can also wear colours like blue and black, which are Water element colours. This colour scheme is not limited to clothes but also extends to your accessories, like bags, belts, scarves and shoes. To further enhance your good luck in the New Year, it is recommended that you wear jewellery with natural crystals like jade, agate, malachite, turquoise, aquamarine, pearls, kyanite and moonstone.

Having dealt with the most favourable colours for the New Year, let’s also mention the colours you need to stay away from. The colours to avoid this New Year are white, grey, purple, red and all shades of orange. This tradition of wearing certain specific colours for New Year is based on the Feng Shui theory of five elements, which can ensure a positive flow of energy. Each of these elements has a certain colour which carries its energy and is the most beneficial for that year. So, start your New Year with the right mix of colours, and irrespective of which colours you choose, we wish you good luck and happiness for the upcoming year!
